The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is set to classify “White Lives Matter” as a hate group.
The new classification of “White Lives Matter” is reported to be included on the SPLC’s next update of their “hate map,” SPLC’s hate map tracks various hate groups across the country.
“I can’t speak to how many chapters will be listed, but it’s clear that the leadership of the group, the ends of the group — it’s just a flat-out white supremacist group,” Heidi Beirich, director of the center’s Intelligence Report, said to the Houston Chronicle.
“The ideology behind it, the racist leaders, everything about it is racist,” Beirich continued.
